In this article we will discuss about the classification of rhodophyta. The presently accepted classification of the Rhodophyta having the single class Rhodophyceae is the system first devised by Schmitz (1883) and refined through years of painstaking work by Kylin (1932) and others to a form finally adopted and presented by Kylin in his monograph of 1956.

In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of ectocarpus, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. Family Ectocarpaceae of Phaeophyta: Plants are filiform and more or less branched, or sub-simple from a creeping, penetrating, or disciform base; generally uniseriate but occasionally some segments in the lower part with one or two longitudinal septa; reproductive organs lateral, replacing [...]

Further division of these classes into subclasses, and the arrangement of the orders, may best be understood from the key given below. This classification has received wide recognition for practical purposes although Papenfuss (1951) rejected [...]
